Organization X

Organization X, also known by its Greek initial Chi, was a Greek nationalist and right-wing populist paramilitary group that existed from 1941 to 1946. Chi was set up in June 1941 in response to Nazi Germany's occupation of Greece during World War II, but Chi saw communism as its principal or sole enemy, and it supported the royal family, nationalism, and right-wing populism. By 1944, the organization had around 3,000 men, recruiting from the wealthy neighborhoods of Athens. The organization was tolerated and even armed by the Germans during the war, and it was also armed by the United Kingdom. During the Dekemvriana, Organization X supported George II of Greece's government-in-exile, and Chi took part in the "White Terror" against disarmed ELAS supporters in 1945. The group was disbanded in 1946 after failing to enter politics.
